This week’s word

Diet is everything you put into your body.  Have you ever tried keeping a written record of that?  It comes as a surprise to almost everyone — we seem to be peculiarly ill-suited to keeping track of what we have eaten and drunk during the day.  Here at Kuk Sool Won of St. Paul, we recommend a whole food, plant-based diet.  ”Whole food” means that the food is unprocessed or only minimally processed.  Even if you are eating whole grain bread, the wheat has been highly processed (into flour) and mixed with, well, check the label.  If it’s more than water, yeast and salt, I’d hesitate to call it bread.  ”Plant-based” means that most, if not all, of your diet comes from whole plants.  Leaves, stems, roots, and some fruits and seeds.  It’s a delicious and incredibly healthy way to eat.

New Pre-Martial Arts Class

Parents, Kids Martial Arts, Martial Arts on March-3-2010

We’ve opened a new class day and time for our youngest (and cutest) students.  Our Pre-Martial Arts class is specifically designed for children ages 4-6 years — those who are curious and enthusiastic about martial arts but too young for the Kuk Sool white belt (beginning) curriculum.  We’ve been offering a class on Fridays at 5pm for nearly 2 years now, and that class stays consistently full.  So, we’ve opened a second class time on Tuesdays at 5pm.  Class will last anywhere from 30-50 minutes, depending upon the age and experience level of your child.  Please call 612-578-5797 if you have questions, or feel free to just show up with your child, ready to try our Pre-Martial Arts class.
